American craftsman window parts

Quick Learner from elkins park pa
These are American craftsman windows. Sold at Home Depot. They are about 25 years old. I need two window latches, eight weatherproofing strips, and two new lifters.

Hello,

I would recommend starting by comparing the specifications of the (3/8") S900 and (5/8") S600 spiral balances to your assembly depending on the diameter of your housing tube. It also look like you'll need red tip options for your replacements.

As for your tilt latches, we may be able to help but we'll need you to write out the exact distance between the installation hole centers to narrow down your options. We'll also need to see the locking toot of an intact latch removed from the window.

We also carry a selection of weatherstripping but we would need to see a clear end profile photo of your seal uninstalled to compare to our inventory. See the videos related on this page to assist you. Thank you!

Well, I can't believe what great service you have!

I believe the rod tip is orange, not red and the rod length not including the tip is 26 inches. The rod diameter is 9/16.

For the weatherstripping, the height of the pile is 33/ 128 and the width is 37/128 according to my digital caliper

As for the window latch, the window and the latch are one and a half inches wide, and the screws are 2 7/8 on center, externally, mounted.

I think this is all the information you need, let me know if there is anything else.

Many thanks, Walter

Thanks for getting back to us. Since 9/16" is often referred to as 5/8" in the trade, you would need the S600-26 spiral balances. You do have red tips even though they often look closer to orange. 

As for the weatherstripping, take a look at the 58-045, which measures 9/32" wide by 1/4" high.

Unfortunately, we do not have an exact match for your tilt latches but the 26-163 has the same hole spacing. We can't make any guarantees but review the specifications below to see if they might work for your application.
